I enjoyed this episode, as it shows that there are some of the same difficulties with getting other types of projects started (in industries that you don’t have much experience in).

If Jason had black hair would these two be indistinguishable?

I also really really liked the interview as it was fun and full of energy and not quite so off topic as it may have seemed. It reminded me a tad of TZ 102: Pioneer One / The No Budget TV Series. There seems to be quite a few parallels between the tenacity, hard work, coordination, hustle, and marketing required to launch a web series and what is needed for a startup. This show was also super entertaining.

Great episode, really loved it!

@Jason looks like your “trademark shot” was used in Terminator 3 😉 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsqGZP-W25U&t=2m10s

I really enjoyed this episode and Jason’s child-like enthusiasm for the topic! It’s a great story of getting something off the ground, be it a film, a web app, e.t.c.

Ignore any criticisms about it being off-topic. Surely there are things we can learn from all fields of creativity. I look forward to watching Dan’s web show.

@isoftwaremaker – Sorry, I got the name of the movie wrong. 😉 It’s actually Monsters:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1470827/

Here’s a “making of” interview with the director, Gareth Edwards:

Great episode!! Not tech related but very interesting. I love the story about the guy shooting the stabbing scene in the bathroom and the security guard walks in!

@Steve Jacobs – Sure, this show may be a bit off-topic, but not really by that much as it’s primarily about the bootstrapping of a web series, which is pretty close to the process of bootstrapping a startup. And if you add in the fact that it’s sci-fi, it’s even closer, not to mention the part about the hacking of the camera’s firmware, etc. But, hey, if you didn’t like this show, there will be a brand new one next week about something completely different. 😉

@Jason – I don’t understand episodes like this. Do you want to hear about my college roommate/past friend stories that have nothing to do with the show topic?
